We’re super lucky in Ditmas Park to have so much talent in our neighborhood – and this weekend we’ll get a chance to see much of that showcased during the Flatbush Artists Studio Tour.

Numerous neighborhood artists will present their work during the free annual tour that will take place on Saturday, November 15 and Sunday, November 16, from 11am to 5pm both days. Visitors will have the chance to both see and purchase art, as well as talk to the artists about a wide array of work – and see some them give live demonstrations.
